Back in the mid '90s I was obsessed with having white hair. The lightening technique is pretty much the best I've seen. My favorite toner was called Virgin Snow by Manic Panic. My hair always came out perfectly white. Used to get a lot of stares. Love love love white hair.
Did you do this on already bleached hair? I have a real hair wig and it’s a light blonde color but I want it to be bright white without bleaching it! (If I bleach it will destroy it)
To those who are making comments about bleach and shampoo - this method is perfectly safe so long as you make sure you thoroughly rinse out all of the shampoo. Also, when you are shampooing or conditioning a client, you should never be lathering it into the scalp directly. Work and massage your fingers through the hair strands but never massage it into the scalp - this is one of the biggest errors that people make and if your training is top class, then this will be drilled into you.
And lastly, this method in the video is only really suitable to those who have dark roots and already lightened ends - if your client has a full head of dark hair, begin with ends first with foils. The roots tend to develop quicker than the ends because it is accelerated slightly by the natural heat of the scalp.
Another reason why so much of the product is being used to lighten the hair in this video is also down to the consistency of the mixture. It is quite thick - which isn't necessarily a bad thing - but that does mean that you will require more of it to ensure you're getting it onto all of the hair strands so you don't end up with spots or streaks. If you have taken a partition of hair while applying the product and hair strands are overlapping, then don't be afraid to use a comb to separate them and once again apply product.
Needless to say, it's refreshing to see someone be critically honest about the fact that you should not be cutting corners on the amount of product used and best practice is to calculate those costs into the final price for your client.
Do you mean for this technique the shampoo shouldn't be used on the scalp? At my school, we learned that shampoo should be focused on the scalp and used scalp massage techniques. It was in the textbook too.
@@nickgreatpwrful5754 guess your training wasn't 'top class'
@@lokisfriend The hair was shampooed too, but our teachers taught us the main purpose of shampoo is to clean the scalp. My school was a pretty well known school, still is.
@@lokisfriend and as I said, this was also taught in the textbook, which is the same textbook all cosmetology students use.
@@nickgreatpwrful5754 it was a sarcastic comment aimed at the original commenter, I thought since I used quotation marks that you would catch that.
No shade meant towards you.
So I tried this on my client yesterday and it turned out pretty good. Saturation was the key..I needed more product and my timing was alittle short but better safe than sorry. Thanks for the video!! Her scalp was just fine!
Kim Brown I wonder does it work on textured hair shampoo first
What if you used coconut oil
@@evelinaercoli2901 Bob
The back takes longer to process because, temperature on the head from the crown down is colder than on the top to the front sections
Thank you for this info!
The hairs also tend to be thicker in the back and therefore more resilient
The temperatures are the same Not sure where you got this info hunny lol
carbinja I believe it has nothing to do with temperature. The hair on the back of the scalp is not as exposed to the sun and the elements as the top of our hair is. It gets dryer and more damaged naturally even at the scalp. We can think of the abuse it takes with the iron or blow dryer. We pay more attention to the front when we’re doing our own hair as well. This all creates a weaker and lighter base at the top of the crown thus it pulls much quicker.
@@Irispia97 yes where the brain is is more hot if u got one 🤔
Do it on level 2 Latin hair
Sí.... Porfavor!
Yessssss! Please do a level 2.
white hair can be achived on 6 or above :)
Its def possible babe. I took me 2 months ( didn’t want my hair to fall off) to get my ash blonde hair . It’s a process tho, time and patience. You can definitely go to a salon but they most likely will tell you to come back for sessions just so your hair can be healthy and not fall out.
@@SirKuspi I'm black and my hair is just about black. I've dyed my hair lighter than the video multiple times
I wish more stylists knew to start in the back. Ive had my highlights become over processed.
I always start in the back :)
who tf doesn't start in the back?
@@kedd6199 yeah...i always start in the back
You can consult with stylist if you cant talk communicate u need to switch. Dont be bossy just say the lighter is drying the top out. But the top it takes longest to come up so dont want yellow orange roots
BLEACHING wet hair?! I had no idea such wizardry existed!! Wooooooowwwwwwwww!! Very inspiring & thank you
I tried this at work today and the result was awesome and no hair left in the brush during the blowout!!! Thank You, Thank You!!! As far as my client was concerned it was white and she loved it!
I absolutely love that all the rules get thrown out the window to create something beautiful, as long as, as a stylist that you have the guests hair in integrity first on your mind, know who you are working on, not everything is gonna work on everyone. Just a note. I love learning from this channel and I use some of the things I learn and they usually come out amazing. ( like starting a haircut with my weak side thanks Matt)
Step one: start off with someone who is a natural level 7 or higher lol 😂😂😂😂
Well yes maybe so but to this statement- it actually can be done on way darker hair - because I’ve done it I have actually made Navajo Indian hair Middle Eastern hair I have done on Latin Hispanic very coarse very curly and it all really truly depends on one professional products being used specific ones in my opinion because not all of them perform the same I find that University brands like dating is my identity Lightner there was a brand are used to use beauty school that come at the time it used to be in at a local distributor ship call peerless beauty supply or in Utah and I’ve seen it elsewhere it’s called 30 minute bleach comes in A blue box there’s four applications which is amazing leaves that are in great shape with great integrity Nexxus Aloxxi lightener as I mentioned was one I used for years- plus you’re talking to a hairdresser of 25 years I’ve been lightening / coloring hair but my hair for the majority of that time platinum blonde I’m a level III so it can be done the one thing about it is is the level of damage but specifically the types of product I do believe that there are specific lighteners that are better than others myself from the start was the 30minute bleach in a blue box by beauty school Nexxus Aloxxi Lightener had come out on the market and I used it for years I don’t know if it’s still being made but I’ve had to look to other brands- currently I use Guy Tang #MyIdentity his #Big 9 or his magnum #8 Lightener -I’ve never used his rose gold balayage #7 but I’m pretty sure the power that the other two have you as my guy tang I am sure that the special seven could work it’s got to last in technology but I know that he uses it for a balayage which I’m not a huge promoter of I don’t do them because to me it looks like a root rot my opinion it looks like a grown-up sloppy hair color and it’s like just do your damn roots but I would imagine that the quality that is in this product I am probably pretty sure I could get platinum blonde out of mine even at a level III but I would dare say that the biggest thing is the products that are used in the salon if it’s a Home done deal I would say that Products used at home definitely need to be professional I cannot be more stuff from the grocery store otherwise it needs to be the level of what I recommend like red kiln urology most of matrix is products are fairly great Paul Mitchell’s our pool he series hair care not the regular white line that most of optometrist down for Lanza there is a brand that comes out of California called macadamia oil which is fantastic Cameron makes pretty good hair care enjoy I did used to like a brand called lava hair care I haven’t seen in a long time but I do believeIt is about the level of damage I do believe that’s what’s being done at home the hair care at home what types of styling implements like is it daily blood drying is it Daley flat iron in curling irons is going to add to the level of damage sell that much more you need to add that much extra better quality and product so something like Joico I’m sorry but its not gonna cut the mustard or like KMS. I have used & dealt with these brands Sorry they don’t work to the level of quality that most colored, bleached, really horribly highly multi dimensional multi porosity, double process hair whether it’s color lightener (bleach) and tone or highlift color possibly combined with Chemically straightened and maybe highlighted The biggest thing what people need to remember is everything you do to your hair chemically each time you do a color or yet even every day styling like flat irons - yet the elements of the earth and the length , it is older hair that’s been washed add color or whatever else , all factors that determine hair health but what chemical services done or could possibly don. it just adds that much more damage everything you do & each time and this isn’t just on the level of each time it’s what you’ve had done in the process how long the hair is how long is the hair been around - Also factor in it’s been washed over and over so if it isn’t being colored & used with high-quality product hair care home maintenance for it --you’re gonna run into problems and that’s where the realism that comes in and it something I say that clients where I think most hairdressers will not tell the truth so many -they’re only after the cash- I do believe that there are some that are like me who I’m looking for the integrity of the hair. I don’t care what is it you want but that you must & have to tell me what you’ve done to your hair previously. Whether it’s if you have colored at home if you’ve used store box color or whatever Remember everything you do to your hair especially chemical treatments like haircolor like hair lightener a.k.a. bleach any other hair chemical services Even like a Brazilian blowout sorry I’m dead set against it -it’s got formaldehyde in it. But It is all going to be a determining in each service each time unless it’s a retouch or like deposit only like doing darker I mean even color remover‘s are going to put some level of damage on hair -- so if it’s been previously treated with anything you have to think with everything you’ve done to it The longer the hair the longer the history and list of what you’ve done. those are all big determining factors of what your outcome is going to be each present time you color your hair or Latin or whatever you’re doing and that’s why again I recommend the brand that I do because I know the level Of quality that they deliver - Like Redken Pureology , Macadamia Oil hair ,Lanza , Enjoy , most Matrix brand like Biolage. Or Schwarzkopf .....There is a series to Paul Mitchell Awapuhi series it is an actual different shampoo conditioner than the typical Paul Mitchell. it’s much more expensive and definitely better quality & definitely a better caliber of hair care , it comes in black bottles so you’ll know the difference because their original line comes in white packaging so most other stuff possibly if it’s pro stuff . But like most store bought. it’s not gonna perform the level of care that Highly colored / lightened , highly damaged , double processed , again lightened black to blonde , blonde to red or black or otherwise -that kind of hair coloring -that’s going on like when people to change their color all the time but again there’s other brands Abba , Nexxus Nexxus is still around -I understand they’re still available but not as widely available as one very well known brand. As to what I understood from years ago that it was sold to the gentleman who owned Alberto VO5 Is why you’ll find it in a lot of major chain stores like Walmart target CVS Rite Aid Walgreens and the general is nothing wrong with my service products just said they’ve been deferred by probably delivery courier services or people looking to just make a quick buck but do be skeptical if it is the real stuff when it comes to professional hair care skin care of what night you’re going to have generally good guarantee that it’s not in salons it will be guaranteed most wines have a money back guarantee but it is possible to lighten really dark hair level 321 which people are darkest brown dark brown but you got a remember the levels of lightning that hair goes through the level of damage depending on if you’re using 2030 and 40 volume peroxide developers depending on the type of bleach has powder bleach as opposed to oil whiteners there’s a lot of dirt terminal factors plus the application technique and process you know if her as being smothered in bleach over bleach all over the hair each time yeah it’s going to destroy her there is a certain way that it needs to be applied session for changing colors if it’s anything outside the realm of just a retouch of what you already have there’s a specific process it is considered under the umbrella of color correction which. It is and can be very costly it is the reason why license professionals are in most cases better to do so I’m not saying all hairdressers are great father is very much a skill to come to hair colored as I could for waiving any other haircut service in haircutter service salon it is possible but remember everything you do to your hair the types of products you’re using at home to what is being used in the salon or even if it’s something you do at home Remember each time you change it , each time you do whatever you do that’s always going to be the determining factor as to what the outcome is and ,,,,my biggest thing for me is , as a hair colorist is - what is the hair gonna be like in the end each time - what is the integrity of the hair
Exactly hahahahaha, I mean you can become that white with darker level but it will take longer and the damage will be bad
@@rachaelburt1737 absolutely!!😱
Bruh I went from. Black to white and fresh dyed Black over blonde. Effasol my dude effasol.
😂😂😂😂😍
I love how your channel smashes the standard mould of salon education! Boom!
I remember peeps always saying I couldn’t use bleach on wet hair! Thank you so much for putting this out there. And I was also taught not to do that in beauty school.... but my teacher also taught me to learn the rules so that you can know when to break the rules! 😁
Did anyone tell you not to use synthetic testosterone?
@@denwiessimo6088 What kind is safe for younger women to use, (genuinely curious), I have low total testosterone and I'm young (the only available research about treating low T is in post menopausal women), so I'm really curious which one is safe/gentle enough for women still in their childbearing years, I don't want to mess up my cycle or grow a beard, but I need to get my energy, motivation and quick metabolism back, and any hormonal imbalance needs to be corrected, (I'm inferring by your comment you know about T, and my doctors are clueless and useless, so I thought I'd pick your brain, (no worries if you don't know).
@@milumav Hi Miluma, I was referring to the profile pic. When I was working out did it on my own testosterone levels. But I heard that when working out the testosterone levels adapt to a certain extent to what's necessary for what is asked of the body. So working out seems a good way to boost those levels.
Personally I'd strongly advise against participating in the worldwide "campaign" that's going on around injecting certain substances into bodies. In my surroundings I hear a lot about unclear symptoms.
@@denwiessimo6088 Ah, I see. Unfortunately it seems working out too much lowers T in women! Untreated hormonal imbalances, (especially one so vital to both sexes) can lead to major health problems, (especially for cardiac health), so they need to be corrected for optimal health. Considering how important hormonal balance is for human health, it's incredibly alarming how little doctors seem to know about the subject.
Anyway, thanks so much for taking the time to answer, take care and be well! :)
First of all what is wrong with you to comment about someone’s body when they are talking about hair and also just because a women is buff doesn’t mean they’re on testosterone. And hrt literally has very few side effects so I don’t know what your talking about. Try touching some grass and reading a book
I was always told not to bleach hair wet, only dry, as it would bleed. I guess you've just got to make sure it's sort of wet, but not dripping.
Thomas Dazoxa. the word is damp
Well you only need to worry about bleeding if your highlighting.
@@csk2248 no, the word is sort-of-wet-but-not-dripping
Well I heard that it doesn’t lift as much on damp hair too...
But this is also where you are making your money at the salon he saturated the hair very much some lighteners do dry up or become dry like clay but you can put this other product into the bowl mix it to keep it moist I forgot what the product was called in my school 😞
I decided to go blonde for summer 2024 and the tips and tricks I learned here today are amazing. Thanks for all the gems you dropped in this video. Her hair turned out beautiful.
I wouldn’t recommend shampooing ur hair before bleaching unless u want ur scalp to bleed
Sounds painful
You're supoosed to have unwashed hair actually, by a few days preferably. Natural oils protect the scalp.
@@FeatheryBird ah
bruh
I prefer colouring all
Hair that is freshly washed , oil makes a barrier to the colour x
I would like to see this done on natural ethnic hair.

You are right in saying the back takes longer to (come up) process. The hair is generally thicker in the back and can not oxidize like the front does.
Wow I never knew it'd work on wet hair! I was always told the opposite. Cool.
I would have thought about bleaching on damp hair. You do the back first because there is less heat on the back of the head and it doesn’t see the sun
Sheila’s Beauty/ Hair/ Nails/ Fashion this is not true, the hair in the back of the head is less porous because it is usually not treated with hot styling tools as much as the front of the hair. And this is only a statement that’s true “most of the time”.
As a Certified Hair Color Specialist, I have to get involved in the comments on Matt's procedures. He actually did a great job here and was very mindful of his client's hair limits and its integrity. His application was spot on. I would NEVER approach any hair color service without clarifying the hair first. That's just how I roll. Hair catches and holds onto all kinds of environmental elements. In tap water, for instance, copper, iron, and many other trace minerals are present and it remains in the hair and if the hair has high porosity levels, it's even worse. Now we add alkalines and oxidative colors to the picture along with hydrogen peroxide and we have all kinds of chemical reactions going on trying to work through things that it's not designed to. I'm assuming Matt was using a 20V oxidant in his lightener. The reason the back of someone's head takes a bit longer to process is primarily based on density. That's where most of the density lives on our heads. Sunlight doesn't penetrate through the strands as fast as it does the top and sides therefore, typically, the top of the head has a lighter Natural Level and less density. Lightening action (how fast it works) is based on the type of hair you're working on. Fine, Medium, or Coarse. Fine hair colors/lightens faster and could appear a whole level lighter than you formulated. Medium textures color/lighten pretty much as you would expect and Coarse hair colors/lightens slower and a level deeper than you formulated due to the thicker cuticle layer it has. As far as heat sources are concerned in developing/processing color/lighteners. I don't use hood dryers. That's just dry heat. I have two types of color processors in my salon. One is infrared and the other is steam. The steam heat with distilled water is a true game changer. All my colors are processed in 15-20 minutes with steam. Infrared is between 20-30. I can get complete grey coverage with 10V too if the hair isn't too coarse. Bravo to Matt. I loved the outcome.
Thank you for this education
Is it possibly to get more WHITE than this? It’s still a bit platinum blonde for what I want. If so, how?
I feel a sense of comfort knowing someone likes this color to go to the trouble of changing their hair to this color. Thank you for posting this. I cried many tears over my once brown hair. It was a deep brown and was so shiny. I found that darker hair reflects light better than light color hair. I love natural black hair. It has blue highlights and shines like glass!
I thought one of the big rules of using lightener was to not comb it, especially on already lightened hair, because it can easily snap and break hair strands?
It really depends on the condition of the hair... You are the one to tell if u can do it or not ☺️
You can comb it as long as it’s healthy. It depends on the client. Take care of your client’s hair, and you can use cheats like this to saturate the strands.
I think he said applying on damp hair prevents that. It helps the bleach not dry out so the comb goes through without snagging.
Brittnie Mikaila when you bleach damn hair the bleach doesn't turn rough and dry.. it turns slippery. it's safe to comb 😅 i did this to mine
If you look how he does it, he brush the hair a few second after apply the bleach. It barely reacting to the hair, so I think it is safe, but wouldn't recommended if your hair been processing for more than 5 minutes.
Love it ! Never knew you could bleach wet hair. Love these education classes . thank you.
This isnt a hard thing to do . Her roots are a dark blonde and the rest is previously colored so it will lift up easily . Why doesnt anyone show a really dark level to lighten ? Like a 4 or 5 ? A virgin application from start to finish . Thats what these people need to know on here , how to truly go from brown to blonde . It would really be something that people need .
I have dark brown/black hair with no products and would love to go white. My mother had while hair and my daughter does. . I wish I could do it at home
@@bertal.c8938 whatever you do , do not use hair color from walmart , target etc...they contain metals plus the developer isnt strong enough to lift your dark level 2 or 3 hair to what you want . You will come out orange or bright yellow ! It can be done at home but only with good products and time ( maybe 2 days ) go to your local sallys and find a salesgirl who understands color to help you . Ill help here . You are going to have to double process your hair which means bleach then tone it , and DONT skimp on product ! Buy plenty to cover all that hair ! Or youll wind up with dark spots . And you might have to bleach it twice , so CONDITION CONDITION , CONDITION !! Take what ive told you and get help ! Use good products ! Dont try to save money right now ! If you need more info , text me and ill help . I owned my salon for app 30 years and taught platform work for IMAGE LABORATORIES doing balayages , high light foils , low lights , etc... i know my color ! But i broke my back and had to retire . GOODLUCK ! And have fun !
Beautiful outcome! You delivered!
I do think this woman was much more pretty with the darker blonde and roots though. But, the clients tell you what they want. And I get it.
This is the greatest video I have ever watched
Thank god someone who actually knows what to do for clients with white hair like me
Love this technique on all my clients!! Couldn’t have agreed more with everything you said!!
I love this. The idea of applying to wet hair is a great. By the way I shampoo my hair before I lighten it. No problems. If you aren’t using any developer above 20 on scalp, you won’t have any irritation. This was a great video!
LOVE ❤️ thank you so much for posting! Would love to see one on a natural level 1 or 2 , most clients in my area are naturally very dark and want to be blonde blonde! Again thanks so much
My own hair is a level 2 with really white sides. It never looks like that. I can't get the back past dark yellow. Even after bleaching it twice.
You start doing the bleaching process in the back of the head because it's the coolest and takes the longest to process. I usually add a yellow/orange cancel to the bleach with a little olaplex. Or a protein filler. Somehow I master doing everyone's hair but mine 🤦🏼♀️
People not understanding that bleach doesn't give a f%^& about water just kinda underscores the lack of even basic knowledge of chemistry a lot of cosmetology instructors have. Bleach has a pH of 13... the only reason why washing the hair with water "stops" the reaction is because we use sooooo much water to wash it away. Water has a duel polarity which allows it to carry away so many different types of substances, but water has a pH of around 7 typically. There is no way that damp hair is going to retain enough water to remotely neutralize bleach.... Your hair, skin and body in general are naturally more acidic than water any day of the week. The only time I'd flinch is if you were suggesting to soak the hair in vinegar before starting.
If you REALLY want to go boujie with this technique, skip the water and drench the hair in cold pressed coconut oil. Same principle, bleach doesn't give a f&^%, it will cut through just about anything, but, the oil will help spreadibility, keep it from drying out AND it will help reduce the drying effects of the bleach on the hair itself which is a major source of breakage.
The key to white hair is to go slow, cold, and minimize the inevitable damage.
The whitest my hair has even been was by following these steps.
1. Hair given a protein treatment. We were being cheap, so we STARTED by using ApHogee's 2 step protein treatment.
2. Hair is allowed to cold dry
3. Hair is saturated in cold pressed coconut oil
4. 1:2 ratio of bleach and 20 Vol c Olaplex, which reduced the lifting power to 10 Vol
5. Hair is COLD processed c that 10 Vol equivalent for almost an HOUR. Low, slow, cold. More time =/= more damage if you go slow. It was lifted to lvl 9, NOT 10.
6. ApHogee 2 step is used AGAIN.
7. Porosity corrector is applied to damp, towel dried hair
9. Wella T18 toner c violet booster and Olaplex is applied to damp hair for 20-40 min. T18 will lift, which is why the hair was only processed to lvl 9. Hair is allowed to silver, and even purple at the roots.
10. Hair comes out purple/silver, and hair aftercare (pH correction, moisture, etc.) is done.
11. Hair sleeping mask is applied, excess violet tones are washed away in the proceeding two showers at home.
12. Hair is left soft, hydrated and as healthy as white hair can be. Oh, and yes, as white as human hair can possibly be.
13. Upkeep is done c purple shampoo/conditioner and masks.
People always argue with me about it, but I'll believe them when they've had long white hair for 10+ years and they can run a brush through it from root to end without loosing clumps of hair in the process.
Jana G thank you for sharing this comment ! It makes so much sense
You may want to clarify that "cold process" still means that you will get heat from your head and body, you simply didn't apply MORE heat. Seems obvious i know, but....
@jana g I jus got my full head bleached and am confused on the aftercare.. should I use a protein conditioner/mask ( such as the joico intense hydrator ? ) to keep my hair healthy or jus use moisturizing ones? I had bad experience using a protein rich shampoo n conditioner (moroccanoil moisture repair shampoo and conditioner ) which made my hair brittle so now al scared to use anything with keratin in the ingredients . I only wash my hair once a week for reference . Please someone answer!!
@@nashjohnjrvlogs5944 It will depend on your hair. Start by going through all of your products ingredient lists and look for anything that says "hydrolyzed" or protein. These all contain some type of protein which when over used will cause your hair to become brittle and snap. Sally's actually has a lot of good hair masks that are protein low/free.
If you've had this problem before, know that you should look at cutting down on the protein applications, and focus primarily on moisture. Also, if your hair is brittle RIGHT NOW, cut down on coconut oil as well. It's structure helps retain keratin which can prolong the brittle state of your hair. Switch to another type of hair friendly oil.
I would still advise the protein steps WHILE doing bleach applications, but for aftercare, reign it back to products c protein once a week and less if the brittleness persists. You should have a high moisture hair mask that you're using on a day off, or sleeping in as well. If your hair is very brittle, be careful about sleeping with any product in your hair bc sometimes if you are moving around too much, it can cause more breakage in a damp state.
I'd start with an oil pull (minus coconut oil), make sure you're cowashing, cut your hair washing down, if you need to, you can still clean your hair effectively with rinsing the scalp well, and conditioner.
Natural hair blogs have great articles that have a lot of cross over with 4b+ and white hair. Both have very similar concerns with protein, pH and moisture balance.
White hair and natural hair are investments that require a lot of upkeep. There is sadly no one step fix all because our starting hair types are all different. These may be a good jumping point, but after care is very much a process of experimentation for each person to strike their balance for their personal needs.
Hope that helps.
Thank you! I was a physics major before I entered cosmetology (I know it's a weird switch) and sometimes I can't stand the scientific illiteracy in a career where we deal with chemical reactions on the daily
My reasoning for doing the hair on the back first is: 1 The root area isnt exposed to the light and sun rays like the front is and the cuticle is more compacted. It came out fab!👍❤️
Saturation! Saturation! Saturation! I’m going to have to come completely out of my cheap mode. I’m just glad I practice on mannequin heads.
I was just gonna say-> value yourself and your customers never operate in cheap mode. HOWEVER, my grann was an Augusta Belle, so especially to you Sweetie I say.... YOU
Arlene Augusta deserve the very best in life and your reputation goes on what you give to your customers, family, friends and strangers. Never again aim for cheap, lazy or mean. YOU can give three things to any task you put you mind to; Quality, Fast, Cheap........ try in life to pick the first two over the third. WHen not given the choice, get the very best quality you can. ESPECIALLY in shoes. Always take care of your feet and you will not regret one penny and be grateful when you are Ninety-three. I PROMISE
Youre awesome, great comment!
I thought that was fabulous! She looked great
I actually do all my colours on damp hair. I do the haircut 1st and then apply the colour. It's a much faster approach
george christodoulou interesting. I always cut after. That's how I was taught. Keeps the hair healthier
Depends how much you're cutting. If its just a trim, after. If its a big difference, before cause why waste product?
Very important technique. The Italian academy directed by the professor Mohammed Ahmed Othman have been using this technique from two years ago and the results are very good. Clear color, healthy hair and lifting for 6-7 degrees by only one step. He is about to declare a new technique but he has not declared it yet.
Its so beautiful that it looks like an expensive wig! Wow! I wish I could afford you lol Great job!
I searched everywhere for a bleach that lightens this well-I now use blonde brilliance express level 9 developer and activator. It’s cheap and the best I’ve ever used to get platinum
If I washed my clients hair before something like this their scalp would burn off, even with only 20 vol😫😫😫
I always shampoo before and I use a 40 volume. lol I have naturally dark hair and it is super oily.
Isa Hair I think it is different from person to person. I myself never been able to bleach my hair because I have sensitive skin and any kind of die for that long period of time will burn. I did tried once and I had some damage at the front due to the burn. Some people just have a ticket skin and less sensitive.
Dont scrub the scalp, be gentle. Also I try to use a developer for sensitive scalps. Also there are additives to add into your bleach formula for sensitive scalps. I will also add it into my toner, because even a 6 vol or a 10 vol can be rough for some after a bleach application.
Coconut oil treatment the night before helps!
You’re not supposed to like use nails and dig into the scalp. This type of shampooing is more about getting the hair itself clarified not the scalp.
Hair colour looked so much better after you bleached it, she looks excellent platinum Blonde such a beautiful colour👍🏻
Great video. Beauty school and other educational classes say to avoid applying to damp hair. Dialution of product. Thank this will be a tip I use for sure.
But too me she still look more yellowish white. What would you use to make her more white? Icy Snow White. Fantasy White.
I have a client wanting that type if white?
Martha Rodriguez what color line do you use in school?
I think of using purple shampoo, this will tone down the yellowish tone on her hair
It purely depends on the level of lift you get the hair in the first place and how much yellow/Orange tones are in the hair. I work with wella colour and usually my go to pocket formulas for an icy blonde is in color touch 10/81(2 parts)+9/16(1part)+7/89(a dot) and then 1.9 emulsion. Or in illumina a simple 10/1. Again it's all down to how light the hair is to begin with and just neutralizing the tone without bringing down the base of the hair.
if you really want it true white white you have to be a level 10 from roots to ends - but not many peoples hair can handle a true white so often I will tell my guests to not even attempt it if its not short hair
You can achieve white by toning it with shades eq 9c or 9v [platinum ice] and then shampoo with a very good purple shampoo. It worked for me.
Love the wet hair, makes application so much easier and even . Great job!
I just want to know who wears a nice black adidas Hoodie while bleaching
I love this technique too. I used the Shwartzkopf blondeme instead of the joico since its got a blue tint to it and I dont need a toner after! Just some purple shampoo by pravana, 2 minutes, deep condition. I honestly have hair the same natural color as this model and Schwartzkopf guys.... it's the best. That being said getting a level 7 and up to platinum is easy 😊
As a blonde, going on 6 years of platinum, it's so hard to find a good stylist, I've found great ones but I move or they move and I am in limbo looking for a stylist I can trust. What questions should I be asking, so that I will know if they are blonde specialists?
Learn at home... so easy!
I love the way you bleach the hair. I can see the safety of every client who want to have the same color as your model. Thanks for the technique. More power.
I also usually start in the back, especially when going lighter, and have always gotten really even results. Recently I've started working on damp hair and it doesn't dilute the results at all. In fact, it does make it A LOT easier!
Ill try this!!! Youre really "breaking the rules" of what everyone says about it being dry and starting in the front ect. I love it i trust you and ill give it a shot.
Using coconut oil instead of wet hair helps prevent damage
Rebekah Asay I do this as well, no breakage! But next time I might do both because I live in a freezing environment and the coconut oil goes hard 😂❤️
She looks so pretty!
What about using coconut oil to wet the hair prior to starting the bleach rather than just freshly washed?
Heather C i actually do that and also in between every bleach then I also use a steamer to help the process faster and I find that even after the second bleach in one day the hair is still super soft
It's not the most professional way of doing things but let's be real. Not all of us can afford olaplex unless we have a business 😂 I use coconut oil on every one of my clients unless they're sensitive to it, and it helps eliminate a lot of damage. That plus proper developer for the job and pre and post conditioning is a solid way to help maintain hair integrity. But it will still become damaged, like any bleaching job would
Beautiful.. her hair still looks really healthy and nice too
Interesting.. I’ve been taught to not shower for days before bleaching so that the natural oils protect the hair.. but how about coconut oil to keep it moisturized? Wouldn’t it be equivalent to the moisture from damp hair?
ive heard that coconut oil isnt that moisturizing, since it's molecules are bigger than hair cuticles so it just sorta sits on top of the hair
so it builds kind of a barrier between the bleach and your hair so it does protect a little bit
This is the best blonde that I have ever seen
This was really good bc we weren't taught that in class. I can't wait to try that technique with my hair before I do anyone else. But thank you
did you t tried it?
So I started watching your videos because I had a color correction to do and I was extremely nervous because she wanted and ash blonde with silver shadow roots!!! So I looked and looked and ran across on of your videos!!!!! I used everything you used in the video and applied exactly how you did!!!! I want to thank you (and others like you for sharing your knowledge), because it turned out the way it was supposed too! And now she is a life long client! (she was brand new to me) and I'm more confident with blondes now! Please keep posting and I'll keep watching!
Oh and the lady is Dominican with level 1 hair!
brad mondo would actually cream over this, that saturation was just what everybody needed to know
He would also cringe at combing through bleach tho 😅
THANK YOU MY FRIEND !!!I AM FROM GREECE AND HAIR COLORIST!!THIS VIDEO IT'S VERY GOOD.THANKOY FOR THE TIP!!!!!!
I was taught that water deactivated bleach! We would spray water and wipe the hair section if you wanted it to stop processing while a different section is still going. This is so crazy to me and it seems sooo smooth! Now I just want to know if you need to up the developer when doing it wet?
Water can't "deactivate " bleach unless you use enough of it to achieve the necessary dilution required to render the bleach virtually inactive.
really? bleach will eat through anything.
Actually water does not deactivate, it reactivate. When bleach it’s dry and harden if it does... spraying water on it will reactivate the bleach.
If you think about it, developer has water in it.
Think of hair like a sponge. When you add food color to a dry sponge the color stays in just the spot you dropped it on. When you add it to a wet sponge the color will distribute through the entire sponge. Therefore creating a much more even coverage. Same principle applies here. I only do highlights on damp hair.
I have so many questions! 1. What volume developer did u use? 2. Wet hair? All my teachers say do not do that 3. Why did u put the lightener straight on the scalp? Won't her scalp burn and blister? 4. I was told not to "over" saturate bc I'll be wasting product and money...ummm that's all for now, please answer them for me 🙏 ty
Blondie if u don’t put lightener on the scalp it won’t cover all your root growth . . There’s off scalp and on scalp bleach . If it gets on your already bleached hair some it won’t hurt it . That’s what toners are for to even out your hair color to make it the same color all over . No it won’t burn your scalp or blister it . 40v will make your scalp red some and tender cause it’s a high volume and not recommended to use unless your hair is very dark . 40 volume has to be used sometimes on dark hair to get the lift it needs instead of double processing which damages your hair more and makes your scalp really irritated. 20v doesn’t damage the hair even though some ppls hair lift faster than others . But you always start in the back of your hair and also when your hair is bleached your hair follicles are wide open so using a semi or Demi toner or hair color works like a permanent color . I’ve been doing hair color since I was 14 . I’m 48 . I’ve had hairdressers ruin my hair so I do my own . Which later years I went to school. But some just teach you the basics . I’ve had platinum hair all my life almost . This is a very great video. I’m going to order that toner . I hope this helps you some .
Why didn’t I see this video before I bleach my own hair 😫😫😫 love this
the back of the hair is rarely hit by the sun and the top of the head gets more sun exposure and more heat cause heat rises making the top lift faster
Hi, i always love watching you work, you are always so precise and informative however I do have a couple of questions for you:
1. What percentage of damp is her hair at when starting this?
2. Won’t damp hair dilute the lightener?
3. When shampooing are you only focusing on the hair strands and avoiding the scalp?
Thank you in advance ! :)
Always avoid the scalp. The same rule applies to conditioner also. The only place either of those two things should be going to are the hair strands. Whoever taught you this, keep in contact with them - because they certainly know their stuff. So many girls have come through my doors with the bad habit of lathering on so much shampoo and conditioner, and massaging it into the scalp when they wash hair and it is honestly bad practice.
If someone wants to treat their scalp, then the best method is to actually exfoliate it as that will also help prevent clogging up any pores which is very easy to do with shampoo and conditioner. Apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, essential oils and some salt is a very cost-effective method. If the person has a naturally oily scalp, then they should drop the essential oil. Rinse thoroughly afterwards and then shampoo hair strands to make sure there is no leftover gloop.
Love this Icy blonde!! I've tried to get this. It's blonde but not comparable to yours!! I have licensure in Esthetics. Not hair, I wanted to learn & Save $. Styling & Coloring are an art in itself. You've got Talent!
I do 1 foil in bang area. I was told dirty hair is better. You definitely showed me the light!! I recently went for a silvery color for a change. I'm sure you know what color it is & I don't like it. Blah!! Back to the blonde than using your technique. I buy at Salon Centrics but no Joico. Cosmoprof?
Should I wait a week or 2 to do your Icy Blonde after lightening with V- lights? I use a 40 developer to bleach too.
I wrote down all your steps. I'll let you know. Thanks so much Matt. !!
Will most certainly be using this damp hair tip in the salon love the end result the colour is so clean
the problem with starting at the back is its where the the heat is mostly so it can develop sooner than by the time you've finished applying it to the top
I have middle brown european hair with a lot of red in them. I live in a big city in Germany and I found no one to make my hair like this. The coifeurs in Germany do not like or are afraid of radical changes.
WOW! Pretty COOL!!
I ALWAYS do lightning treatments on DIRTY hair, cuz i dont want a lotta damage
I was taught not to stimulate the scalp (shampoo) before a chemical service because it becomes more sensitive
Loved the video,i would be interested in seeing you taking someone from all over babylights which are already platinum to full platinum hair... I just described my situation. I used to be full Platinum hair then my stylist decided she would start doing babylights as my touchups to help my hair health. And told me when i wanted to go back to a bleach and tone we could well its been a year now and i keep telling her i miss my white hair and i wanna go back. But she said she wont do it, because it would be impossible to pickout all the dark. Ps im a stylist as well vut i wont do my own hair
That's something, I think about rn too. Because I started switching to babylights + balayage instead of bleach and tone. But what if I ever wanna go back? I didn't do it for hair health though, I did it because I prefer the look atm. (And of course the fact that I can wait longer in between touch ups without looking horrendous.) I think most stylists would just overlap the bleach or not do it at all. Or maybe suggest not bleaching it white but just bring it to a darker tone of silver/grey for transition until it's grown out enough to get it to the desired shade... I dunno, just what popped into my head throughout the past couple of weeks xD
Yes I'm wondering the same!
Wow she GLO’d up 🤩🤩👩🦳🔥
Hey, thanks for the video. I have a real problem with my hair turning purplish when I tone. I find it extremely difficult to get an even color. How long do you keep the toner in, and if my ends are already light, do I still use toner at the end? How do you get the even color when the roots are freshly bleached? I've done it about 3 times, but now it just won't work! Any suggestions?
The back processes longer than the front, cause the front hair cuticle is more exposed to UV, and other weather condition... so the hair is “healtier” in the back of the head... also the aria of the head that releases more heat is also the front ( top of the head... exactly where the sun light hits)... that is why the front lighten up faster than the back.
This is awesome! Now I’m not so scared off when someone requests this 😏 You’re awesome as always Matt! Thanks for the wonderful educational videos! It truly helps more then you know ❤️🙌🏼
I saw that band of warmth and was like I just KNOW that he's gonna slay... But dang... Talk about perfection!
What level of developer did you use on the scalp? Did you use the same formula on the ends?
watch it again, he explained everything.
You cannot go higher than 20 Volume on the scalp.
Ummm... I do 30 vol on my scalp.
@@arleneaugustahair8393 you can use 30 vol on thick hair like asian type hair.
olaplex with 30 always redeuces to 20 and protects the hair from damage.
twistedscissors2 same
I agree I'm a dark blonde light brown and I just got my hair white I mean it was bleached and Ash Frosty Ash actually 12A/1210 and that's where it's at now yeah it's I used a lot of bleach and I have a pixie I mean I used a lot it made a difference! And having a bonder in it. Demi's Rock! though I've never used a blonde Demi cuz I was afraid it would grab dark because of my past experiences I've never used a lighter Demi I've always used darker ones next time I will definitely try this.
I really enjoyed this..fantastic job...perfect color 💖👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have her same hair texture and using the Ms. Clairol box color gets it platinum. For people with thicker strands: might have to use bleach and if you do pls use Olaplex :) It really works as to keep hair healthy.
I even use the #3 for conditioner and my hair is very healthy, full, and pretty long...to my bra strap.
If bleaching your hair, you should spray bair by water before doing it?
If you're doing your own hair, invest in oil, not water. Bleach doesn't care about what it's cutting through, it's bleach. Fully saturate your hair in cold pressed coconut oil, no hippie, alternative medicine bs, it just works well because of it's melting point and structure. It does the same thing he's talking about here in the way of keeping your bleach from drying, but it also helps prevent your hair from drying out which is a major breakage problem for extreme lifting.
Thank god she smiled at the end!
I would love to know what the music is that's playing in your video. Her hair turned out perfect btw❤
Starting in the back how I learned to bleach in beauty school in the 80’s, the back hair is always darkest and takes longer to lift. One theory is the the top and front hair naturally gets more sun exposure so it tends to be lighter,
I have a feeling this was double toned cos that toner didn’t look like it was moving much 🤨
Justine Sammut you barely saw it process; Lumishine is fairly strong and opaque with the cooler tones such as SB. The pigment deposits darker than expected. It usually takes in one shot.
Also the back takes longer to process because the hair in the back of the head is sometimes a half to a level darker than the front. . Also starting in the back is a great technique for people who take a little bit longer to apply & need to rinse to the back first
Does this wet technique work good on thick dark hair (Asian, Hispanic hair etc
Preetyhair P yes!
No
Not at all. You would need to full l foil the ends first then so the first .5 inch of roots
Love this technique I'm gonna try it next time I lighten my hair
Super amazing video!! Thanks for the great tips 💜👌🏽👏🏽
We where always taught to put cotton between sections and do a "virgin" application when roots are this long. I am certain that Matt has had more varied feedback and training in blonding than I have, but if you had asked me I would have told you that this method would have created banding for sure. Also the overlapping onto the already blonde parts makes we wince, but it turned out nicely, so who knows, a million different ways to get a result I guess. I kind of wish Matt had addressed the theory of the traditional approach vs this approach for us old schoolers.
Rocealin Racert Theres some great hairdressers and they know what to do now more than ever . There’s a lot of tricks u can use now .
Can people with dark brown wavy/curly hair do this? My hair is really thick.
Hello, why you want white hair?
Gonna have to try this next time I change my hair colours. Thank you I watched the whole thing. Every informative 👍
This product is something you can put on the clients skin? Did you do a test to know if it will burn?
traczebabe that particular bleach he used is made for on or off the scalp application.
Yes and she has been my client for a long time 👍🏻
Faith Toler Thank you Faith! He just packed it on their so much I think my beauty school teachers crept into my head about lighteners, and begun a panic.
traczebabe no higher that 20 vol can go on the scalp though. That lightener says 20 on the scalp and then of course 40 if needed when doing the rest. But if the client has any scalp abrasions then you def wouldn’t go directly on the scalp
Faith Toler Thank you for responding. Our field is one that continuous learning is a must. I think it’s amazing to learn from other stylists. And have a place where we exchange these experiences. I appreciate you.
Love the idea of wet , to bleach. Thought double towel, maybe. And wiping excess off nape . But really awesome. Thankyou
Love this video! What level developer did you use?
20 volume
Great work. You're talented. A person's hair is not something they want to be cheap with. I go to a salon for my haircut and blonde highlights. It's good to have a professional do your hair. Minerva's hair looked great after you did it. It looks like a professional did her hair. It always looks better when a professional does our hair.
Did you use 40vol? Also did u use anything with the lighter like olaplex to keep it healthy?
He used 20 vol.
Oh you are awesome. I didn’t know that you could have damped hair when using a lightner. Thanks for this.
Saul D it’s a great technique for balayage too
Love it great job 😜👍
Loved it ! Wow surprised the 9sb covered that yellow & made it look like a 11. Awesom
This was useful! I'll never use it myself, but it was an entertaining watch!!! ....I'm also snickering about how MISERABLE the model looks the whole time. I think we get used to seeing models who are used to being models for the camera who have a soft, neutral expression.
She was gorgeous with that color!!!
